Apocalypse Jamaica
On October 28, Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica and has been described as “the storm of the century” for Jamaica. “...Hurricane Melissa…was the first Category 5 hurricane on record to make landfall in Jamaica. ..[N]o Category 4 hurricane has ever made landfall in Jamaica. Hurricane Gilbert (1988) was a Category 3 storm that devastated the island. Hurricane Melissa will likely end up being tied for the strongest hurricane to make landfall in the Atlantic basin.” Forbes Senior Contributor Marshall, S (2025, November 1).

DEVESTATION IS WIDESPREAD, BUT WE ARE DOING OUR PART TO PUT THE PIECES BACK TOGETHER
International relief efforts have been remarkable. We at Maison Bleu & Villa McKenzie are doing our little part to help our employees & our community. Even a week after the storm, there are many inaccessible roads, people who haven't eaten, and those without access to medical supplies. We are giving 100% of your donations to those in our community who cannot reach international aide sites where food & water is being given out. We are giving the cash you have donated to rebuild homes and offer whatever additional resources are most needed.
